o o o Today & Tomorrow By Walter Lipamonn O LITTLE ROCK AGAIW Q Judge Lemley's order, which grants the plea of the LiWfe Rock School Board for a post pone- ment of inte gration, has raised now the question which would otherwise have faced the country when snhnnl falter Lippmann opens at the end of Sep tember. The question is whether the President is once again to send troops to the Central High School, whether in fact that particular school in Little Rock is to be under military guard for the indefi nite future. There has been no progress whatsoever during the past year towards the acceptance by consent of integration, even of the pitiably meager integration of the seven Negro children who would be coming to school in Septem ber. Gov. Faubus is still de termined to prevent their in tegration, and President Eis enhower is still committed to use the Federal military pow er if integration is resisted. This dismal deadlock is no doubt the reason why men of good faith and good will, like the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Virgil Blossom, and Mr. Harry Ashmore of the Arkansas Gazette, are agreed in asking the court to give Little Rock a breathing spell. The alternative to the breathing spell is the renewed military occupation of the Central High School. A year's experience has shown that in the tension, the unrest, and the distraction "the orderly administration of the school was practically dis rupted." There is every rea son to believe that if the military occupation has to be renewed in September, the situation will be at least as bad, and probably worse. rpHANKS to the timing of Judge Lemley's decision, which he says was deliberate, we shall not be able to drift all summer, only to find in September that we are , con fronted with a crisis for which we are unprepared. The Administration, and e country along with it, are In a squeeze where, as things stand, we are damned if we do, and we are damned if we don't. If the Administration does not support vigorously and effectively the appeal from Judge Lemley's order, it will mean that Gov. Faubus has succeeded, at least for as long as he is likely to be in office, in nullifying the law s laid down by the courts. The precedent will have been established . that nullification is tolerable. On the other hand, if on appeal' Judge Lemley's order is reversed, the Federal gov ernment will have won a technical victory which in fact condemns it to use troops to compel integration. That is the last thing that the Admin istration wants to do, and it is the last thing that the wiser friends of civil rights can want the Administration to do. THE case for accepting the delay would, I think, be compelling provided there were a guarantee that the time gained will be used con structively and not lazily squandered. Unfortun a t e 1 y there is no guarantee that any thing useful will be done. For the President has never ac cepted the idea that when the Supreme Court handed down its big and revolutionary de cision, it became the duty of the national government to see that plans were worked out to carry out the decision. As a result, a social revolu tion in an important section of the country has been en couraged from Washington but it has never been guided. It has been allowed to pro ceed in an anarchy of sporad ic law suits. In this grave matter which involves the Federal power, it has been and it is the duty of the President to bring about a continuing cons ultation among the leaders of opinion and the officials and the pro fessional educators on such questions as to where, when, how to begin integration in this locality and in that one. I cannot believe, for example, that the consultation would have approved the idea of be ginning the great social change by insisting on inte gration in a high school for adolescents which is co-educational. On the other hand. I should suppose a consultation would have supported the idea of beginning integration in a state like Arkansas at the upper levels of education, particularly in the graduate schools. THESE two examples merely illustrate the kind of guid ance which the country needs if it is to find a peaceable way out of the dismal deadlock. It is certain that without guid ance of this sort, we can look forward to several years of confusion, disorder, and civil bitterness. (c) 1958 New York Herald Tribune Inc. Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- rTHEY TELL YOU a lot about the intricate, strategic maneu - years of big league baseball but sometimes the most devi ous plans of the master minds backfire disastrously. Like a time years ago when Man ager Bill Terry was on the third base coaching line and his Giants were trying to solve the elusive slants of Dizzy Dean. The fellow pitching for the Giants was no ' slouch, either a fellow " named Carl Hubbell, and in the last of the eighth both sides had failed to score a single run. The Giants got a man to first with one out when a weak batter came to. the plate.. Just as Dean was about to deliver a pitch, the batter stepped out of the box to catch a signal from Terry. The same thing happened twice more. Whereupon the great Dizzy Dean lost his patience and hol lered, "You lummox, he's tdone give you the bunt sign three times now! For Pete's .sake, let's go!"
